Discover Lake Geneva Bridal Show
The Cove of Lake Geneva attended the Discover Lake Geneva Bridal Showcase this past Sunday, September 26th and we had a great time! The Cove was able to meet with soon-to-be brides and grooms, as well as their family and friends.
This event was the Lake Geneva Cruise Line’s first annual wedding and bridal show which showcased over 40 vendors on six of their boats. Some of the services on display included florists, photographers, musicians, venues, bridal wear, stationers, linens, salon services and more. The event even included samplings of catering, cakes, and champagne from top vendors!
The Cove of Lake Geneva’s booth was located on the Geneva boat and held a drawing for a complimentary two night stay at the resort for a future bride and groom!!
Fall Colors
With the beautiful fall weather we have been having this week and are expected to have the rest of the week, there is no better time than now to get outdoors and experience the changing beauty around town. Or better yet, put on your walking shoes and hit the lake shore path and experience the beautiful reds, yellows, and oranges in their first appearances around the lake.
The Cove’s Great Location
When you’re looking for the perfect hotel, close to all of Lake Geneva’s activities, you’ll be sure to find exactly what you’re looking for at The Cove of Lake Geneva. The Cove is located across the street from the beautiful Geneva Lake and within walking distance to the many shops, restaurants, and activities in downtown Lake Geneva.
And as the season’s change and the weather cools down, The Cove will give you a front row seat to the magnificent fall color changes taking place around the lake and place you close to the fall and winter events in the downtown area.
Oktoberfest
Don’t miss Oktoberfest in downtown Lake Geneva this October 8th and 9th! This 18th annual family fun festival will feature music, magic, and a great pumpkin giveaway! You’ll also enjoy wonderful food, craft booths, shopping specials, and wagon rides!

Traveling with Kids? Be sure to book with a Kid-Friendly Hotel!
When traveling with kids, your hotel room will most likely get a lot of use due to naps, changing clothes, meal and snack times, etc. But you also will want to book a hotel room that is close to activities. Kids get worn out more quickly with lots of transportation and you will want them fresh for the activities you have planned.
Here are some kid-friendly features you might want to look for when booking your room:
• Adjoining rooms or larger rooms - this can give your kids enough room to move around and play.
• A separate seating area away from the beds/bedrooms - This will allow the adults a place to chat while the kids nap.
• Soundproofing - Whether you don’t want to upset other guests with noisy children or you don’t want your children to be disturbed, try to ask for rooms away from popular and busy areas such as the front desk and pool area.
• Kid friendly restaurants - Whether it’s an onsite restaurant or within walking distance, you will want a kid-friendly restaurant that is close, to avoid having to get kids in and out of the car, which can sometimes be a hassle within itself.
• A pool and/or other kid friendly amenities such as organized children’s activities.
• Free wireless internet - It’s a great and quiet way for you to be entertained while your children are asleep.
• Refrigerator - Perfect for storing drinks and refrigerated snacks.
• A Kitchen or kitchenette that can be used to cook meals and snacks - This is also a plus because your family will save money by not having to eat out at every meal.
• Walking distance to markets, restaurants, coffee shops, etc to pick up quick essentials.
Overall, whatever your budget, you should look for accommodations in a central location that is close to attractions and offers easily accessible transportation or is so close to attractions where no transportation is needed. Better yet look for free transportation to major attractions.
